I am out of the mining game :(

[promojo]

So im out of the mining game.

Getting asics importet from china is too expensive -.-
Electricity is too expensive in my country 0.14$/kwh -.-
and my block erupters isnt making me anything.

this game have only been a waste of money so far.


GL on your mining guys dont make the same mistakes as i did.

I have been trying to tell people that since the USB block erupters came out.   Sad to say you figured it out now.  At least you got a couple BTC before this big difficulty rise?

A couple of BTC from block eruptors?  I doubt any eruptor was able to mine more than a quarter of a BTC at the most.

I feel you bro - had to shut down and relocate our operation to a cheaper country.
The big corporations are making it difficult to keep this thing in the decentralized hands of the masses.

How are we going to compete with these 11 MegaWatt facilities CoinTerra and MegaBigPower are rolling out?
It is far far far cheaper to buy the BTC at this current value than to mine anything - unless you are doing it for philanthropic reasons. Probably best you get out before you blink and see the difficulty at 30Billion

That's exactly my question, I'm new to bitcoins but I saw the video on MBP datacenter in Washington.  Are they still making $USD8million a month profit?  Is there a formula that shows how and when (at what investment level) that a profit can start to be made?  Feel free to answer here or PM me, I'm looking to learn about this.  So far it seems to me that only the manufacturers win because they mine for 6-12 months on their new equipment while "testing" it in pools of at least 100 servers, then when those servers get too slow for the formula they finally ship them to end customers.  Do I have it right so far in my conclusions?  So to make any profit at this you have to be the manufacturer of your own ASIC cards and get each server for about $500-$900 total cost.

I think you tried for BTC mining. You should try for altcoin mining and your electricity bill is quite high.

It's quite unlikely that the Washington mining facility is making $8 Million per month today. Unless they have continued to upgrade/replace their hardware, at some serious cost, they will see a declining number of Bitcoins each and every month. The largest facilities are as exposed to difficulty increases, and the volatility of the Bitcoin price as even a puny 100 GH/s miner like myself.

Just think of yourself as the "CEO" of such a mining facility walking around and realizing that every 12-14 days, difficulty will adjust, and you will make fewer Bitcoins next month than you did this month. And you you still have to sell some of your Bitcoins to pay for the electric bill (in US $$$, not Bitcoins) at the end of the month. You just hope that Bitcoins didn't also go down by 5% in value during the month. And sometime, you will likely have to report back to your investors that you didn't make $8 million this month.

While the numbers are jaw dropping, the finances are every bit as precarious as they come.

[EndlessStory]

You don't directly invest on what you can't afford,the starter miners a year earlier from now would have make a decent profit rather than the ones have now,eyeing on the rise of difficulty factors

I'm paying .26 USD per KWh and 23% import tax here in Ireland.
Count your blessings 
Goodluck with your future projects.

altcoin scene seems dead now, maybe worse than bitcoin, if you look for mining i would just avoid the entire thing

You can take each month's profit and re-invest into new (and faster) servers.  $USD3million buys 1000 5TH machines.  So each month you can replace nearly your whole datacenter with faster servers.  If you replaced every 4 months you are still making 4x profit over replacement costs.  I just wonder what the facts are, not speculation, on what they invest and what they make.  Even more I wonder what the lowest entry point is to make a worthwhile income.  Companies like Mega Big Power and Cointerra and others who have big datacenters wouldn't do it if it wasn't making them money.  So what are they doing right and what is their formula?

The trick is that they can sell to themselves without cheating themselves.  If Cointerra sold a 2TH unit last year for $5000 and it cost them $1500 to develop the unit, then they can buy more units for themselves.  They don't need to pay for any additional research, they don't need to pay for shipping, they're not penalized with a 2 week downtime with shipping.  So if the miner costs 1/3 of their total end user selling price then they essentially have only 1/3rd the investment cost that an end user would have.  Not to mention the benefit of mining earlier.

Now if they continue to sell the units for $5k and it costs them $1.5k, they can buy 3 units for every 1 unit they sell you.

My electricity is 0.32$/kWh Australian $. Which sucks. But I don't mine anyway.

0.32$ is really expensive, you pretty much hit break-even pretty soon... good to hear that you stop mining already

[Anna Chan]

As the current BTC/LTC prices are too low, it's clearly that we should buy coins directly rather than mining. I worry about how long would such low prices sustain.

Agree that buy coins directly is a much better decision. Unless it is a new alt-coin then you need some hash.

Mining is a big risk, but you can go legit millonaire in the future if it works out well..

I think I found a mining solution that is pain free at www.wazue.com. I had a good ROI after 1 week of mining.
